There are literally thousands of denominations within Protestant Christianity. Is this a sign of failure and sin, or could God be at work in the diversity of His people? In this episode of Encounter Grace, we scan the history of "agreeing to disagree" (and often "disagreeing with no agreement") from the early church through the Reformation to today. We look at what Scripture says about unity, and how believers today should think about other denominations. Drawing on voices like Jeremiah Burroughs, Martin Luther, and John Stott, we discuss the difference between first-order gospel essentials and second-tier convictions, and why unity in the gospel doesn’t mean uniformity in every detail. Whether you’re Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, Anglican, Pentecostal, Catholic, Orthodox, or non-denominational, this conversation will help you see denominations with more clarity, charity, and conviction.
